Wat Nong Ao – The Golden Temple - Pattaya

Wat Nong Ao – The Golden Temple - Pattaya.

Wat Nong Ao is a small local temple located in central Pattaya. What differentiates it from the other temples in Pattaya is its shiny exterior. It feels like everything in this temple is gilded and shiny. It’s like a billionaires private golden temple and exploring it feels pretty cool. There are a couple of zodiac discs, a big reclined Buddha statue, a picturesque Ganesha shrine, and a praying (and moving) skeleton with glasses. Even though it’s very easy to reach Wat Nong Ao, there are hardly any tourists in it so you can enjoy an authentic experience there.

A beautiful and quiet Temple near the Big C in Pattaya 3rd road.
Really colourful and good for photos

How to get there:  The temple is on the intersection of the South Pattaya Rd and Second Main Rd. It’s easy to reach on foot from central Pattaya.

 

The description of the location must surely be wrong. That sounds like the location of Wat Chai.

I have re drafted the location part; needless to say It was a copy and paste from the internet.

Thanks Barry.
